Official Profile
Background: Sitting Prince William County Supervisor, Coles District (R) — second term. Career law-enforcement / sheriff's-deputy background; Salvadoran heritage. Two-time R nominee for VA-07 federal House: 2022 (lost to Spanberger 47.6%) and 2024 (per existing roster notes; the 2024 nominee per other sources was Derrick Anderson — see notes). NOT filed with FEC for 2026 federal cycle as of 2026-06-02; campaign site currently frames her as running for Coles re-election, not Congress.
Prince William Co. Supervisor (Coles District, R) — sitting. CANDIDACY-CURRENCY FIX (2026-06-02): NOT running for federal VA-07 in 2026 — no FEC F2 filing on record for 2025-2026 cycle; FEC profile H2VA07261 last shows 2022 cycle. Existing roster note flagging a 'may run 2026' federal candidacy is stale. Set candidacy_status: not_running. The active R-primary field for VA-07 (Aug 4, 2026) is Durant, Gray (withdrew), Mayfield, Ollivant, Smithers, Washington — Vega not among them. [2026-06-02 national-autopilot refinement, federal tier — scoring her 2022/2024 federal-nominee record + sitting-supervisor positions] HARD: SBA Pro-Life America endorsed 2022; FRC Action PAC endorsed 2022; Trump 'Complete and Total' endorsement Oct 2022; Ginni Thomas primary endorsement. Pro-life: 'only God – not a doctor – can decide the life of the mother.' Marriage: 'I support the traditional definition of marriage.' Anti-trans-ideology: tanning-bed analogy + anti-mutilation statements; voted AGAINST PWC Pride Month proclamations 2020/21/22 and against PWC code compliance with the Virginia Values Act. Anti-CRT publicly. Pro-school-choice (Noah Webster Educational Foundation endorsed). Pro-border-barrier + pro-ICE-cooperation (defended ICE in PWC). Anti-gun-control supervisor record. Anti-vaccine-mandate: personally attended PWC School Board meeting Feb 2022 to support reversal of staff vaccine-or-test mandate. F-category (Election integrity): hedged on 2020 — said 'no' when pressed on stolen, so partial-credit cells left null. NO EVIDENCE FOUND on E (economic stewardship details), I (foreign policy), or D (Christian liberty self-statements).
Ballot currency 2026-10-03 (MBP-1003-NIGHT r2), official VA Dept of Elections ENR feed for the 2026-11-03 general (asOf 2026-10-02T19:17Z): already recorded as not running and absent from the certified November ballot; the 2026-11-03 countdown on this candidacy record is cleared.

1 claim
At a 2022 candidate forum, Vega stated: 'As a Christian, I support the traditional definition of marriage.' As a Prince William County Supervisor, she voted NO on amending county code to comply with Virginia's Values Act (which extended non-discrimination protections to LGBTQ residents) in June 2020, was one of only two supervisors to oppose the measure in a 5-2 board vote, and declined to support the board's 2020, 2021, and 2022 LGBTQ Pride Month proclamations — a consistent record of opposing government recognition of same-sex relationships and LGBTQ identity as protected legal categories.

1 claim
Vega made parental rights over children's education and identity a central 2022 campaign theme. Co-campaigning with Tulsi Gabbard on an explicit parental-rights platform, she declared: 'I'm sick and tired of a government that is telling me how to lead my life, how to spend my money, and most importantly, how to raise my children!' She supported Gov. Youngkin's policy requiring parental notification when schools discuss children's gender identity, stating it 'gives parents in the know as to what is happening with their children.' She also publicly opposed CRT in public schools and stated 'Education doesn't start at school, it starts at home,' urging parents to advocate at school board meetings.

TRUE (+2)
1 claim
Stated in her 2022 voter-guide questionnaire that 'the government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt,' running on a platform of 'limited government' and opposing wasteful federal spending. Her campaign framing consistently tied inflation and cost-of-living pain to excess government expenditure — aligning with the rubric's anti-deficit fiscal discipline standard.

1 claim
In her 2022 congressional questionnaire, Vega declared strong opposition to H.R.1 ('For the People Act'), stating 'I strongly oppose bills like HR1 which would allow the likes of Nancy Pelosi and AOC to dictate the way elections in Virginia are run' — affirming the rubric's demand for state-controlled, voter-ID-backed election integrity rather than federalized, ID-free voting rules.

1 claim
During her 2022 and 2024 campaigns for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, Vega made the migrant crisis at the southern border one of her top campaign priorities, appearing on Fox News to criticize Biden-era border policy failures and calling for security and rule of law at the border — positions consistent with wall construction, military border enforcement, and ending catch-and-release. Ballotpedia confirms border security was among her primary campaign platforms. Her law-enforcement career (patrol officer, hostage negotiator) reinforces her emphasis on strong deterrence, placing her in alignment with the rubric's border_immigration[0] (wall and military deployment at the border).

1 claim
Appearing on the John Fredericks Show during the 2022 campaign, Vega stated that U.S. assistance to Ukraine 'has to end' — one of the clearest anti-Ukraine-aid positions taken by a Virginia congressional candidate that cycle. She co-campaigned with Tulsi Gabbard, an outspoken critic of U.S. military aid to Ukraine and of NATO expansion. Vega also used general anti-foreign-spending framing: 'We keep printing money that we don't have and sending money to all of these places when we have a great need here,' framing overseas commitments as incompatible with domestic priorities.
